Abstract :In this study, the aims of the studies on van Hiele geometric thinking levels in the international literature were examined and evaluated in depth in terms of methods, sample groups, data collection tools, results and recommendations. In this context, the data of 81 studies conducted between 1982 and 2022 on van Hiele geometric thinking levels were analyzed. These studies were accessed through Bursa Uludağ University library (EBSCOhost, ProQuest and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses databases) and Google Scholar. Each study included in the research was evaluated by content analysis method, and the data obtained were interpreted by frequency analysis and presented in tables. The research indicates that a significant portion of the studies focused on evaluating students\\\' geometric thinking levels, identifying the effects of various learning environments on these levels, and examining the development of theory from different perspectives. In terms of methodology, case studies among qualitative studies and experimental methods among quantitative studies were used more than other approaches. When the samples of the studies were analyzed, mostly pre-service teachers and high school students were included in the sample, while preschool students were preferred in a few studies. Van Hiele Geometric Test and interviews were mostly preferred as data collection tools. The findings reveal that different learning environment designs have a significant effect on improving students\\\' geometric thinking levels. Finally, it was suggested that geometry education should start from students\\\' current geometric thinking levels and education should be designed in accordance with this level.
